How often do you get your AIDs test?

I over heard a conversation a few days ago, where two women were talking about some hoochies, and the young lady said, "Gurrrrl, that's why I get my AIDS, test every six months.

OMG - That means she is playing a stupid and dangerous game with her life. Wouldn't you think if you made the mistake of having unprotected sex one time, that you wouldn't do it again and again and then go get tested every six months. Dang, is that stupid or what??

That sounds like getting a pregnancy test every month when you say you don't want a baby. It seems to me dumm dumm, that one would protect ones self and PREVENT, any chances of getting AIDS, how is it SAFE to get AIDS and then get the test. Daaaag what an idiot!

No it is not stupid. Anyone who is sexually active should be tested at least yearly. With or without a condom a sexually active person is at risk.

Testing does not make you "safe" from contracting the virus, but if detected early it can prolong your life.

The only 100% HIV preventive method is the same as the only 100% birth control, abstaning from sex...including oral.

STUPID? NO, it's SAFE !!! i get tested for any kind of stds every six month or less and its not because im sleeping with the whole world its because as a person no matter what you want to be safe !!! doesnt necessarily means shes playing "stupid dangerous games" it just means shes being safe and that was very ignorant of you because even your own doctor would tell you the same so i commend whomever that woman was !!!!!!!!!!! get educated and know your facts!!!!!!!!

Before I met my husband, me and my new partner would get tested together.

I don't have unprotected sex, but I still get tested once a year. It never hurts to know.
